outfit changes things like that new visions is a college prep program where
0:49
49 seconds
we learn about the health care field and we do various college classes i think the most challenging thing about the program is the workload we have a
0:58

lot to do because we're in so many different classes in one class so that's a lot but it's prepping us to do well in
1:07

college so i feel very prepared i think my favorite part is being
1:14

hands-on that is the best way to learn for me personally so being able to work in the lab and

when you're taking care of somebody in a facility it's their home for that time so i think it's very important to be the best you can for them so i think
2:13
2 minutes, 13 seconds
that was the best thing that i learned even if you don't know like what you want to do i think coming into this
2:21
2 minutes, 21 seconds
program really helps you and to decide that so i know some people from last year that didn't want to go that path
2:29
2 minutes, 29 seconds
but they loved learning about it and they loved rolling that out and it's a good like different thing to do
2:36
2 minutes, 36 seconds
because it's not the typical classroom setting so um you're learning in a different way and you're going to different facilities and i think that it's
